The world is facing a threat from the demigod, Loki, who is determined to take over earth and rule it. He has the access to Tesseract, a source of unfathomable energy. S.H.I.E.L.D., headed by agent Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson), has resurrected the Avengers Initiative, gathering the superheroes to fight the villain.
The story is the everyday good-guy-fights-bad-guy cliched thing but oh my! do they fight! the essence of the movie is the cleverness with which the heroes are strung together with each other and with the story line, the very witty dialogues and DIRECTION!!! It is a pity that this movie has not received a single nomination at the Academy Awards. I am sure it would have bagged some. The direction during the last half of the movie was sheer talent. That kind cannot be repeated or emulated with ease. I recommend to watch this movie on a big screen always!
